Kennysplash Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 There are times when you have to travel for quite a long period of time. When you were at home probably you play every two days. But now you have to go weeks or even months without it. How do you feel during those periods? Do you miss playing so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyorAlice Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I don't normally miss video games when I'm far from home. Not usually. With the Switch, you can take your video games with you as long as you have a way to re-charge it at some point so that kind of solves that problem for me.

Lens Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I feel you too well because I know that it's so tough to be away from our beloved consoles for a very long period of time. But you can actually cope with a portable gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I'm rarely away from home for more than a week at a time, but if I'm going somewhere where I know I'm gonna have a lot of downtime, I will usually bring my handheld emulator so I can play GBA games.

killamch89 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Not really because I usually have one of my devices like my Steam Deck with me so I won't really be missing any gaming. But even if I was to go on a far away trip, I don't think so because it's good take a break from gaming, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 It can be so tough especially when you're used to gaming regularly. But, I improvise by staying with gaming forums like VGR to stay connected to the gaming community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just that the feeling of the switch and console might not be the same. But if it works well for you, great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is to enjoy the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Yeah, I definitely miss gaming when I’m away. It’s like missing a comfort zone, especially after a long day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see gaming as a huge comfort. I use it to unwind and escape from stress. When I'm away, I see myself thinking about the current game I was playing before I left home.

I have a Switch and a Steam Deck so I can always game on the go as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to consider cloud gaming or portable consoles which will make my favorite games accessible anywhere I find myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, cloud gaming and portable consoles would be lifesaver. But, you got to know that the home setup and familiar surroundings can't be replicated.
